a-england Ophelia

I have for you today the first of the Gothic Beauties, Ophelia, named for the tragic character in the William Shakespeare play, Hamlet.

As with most of the a-englands application was smooth and effortless and if you could probably get away with 1 coat.  Ophelia has a blackened base with a purple shimmer.

But here is 1 coat of the Knight, 2 of Ophelia and 1 of the Shield.






I love this polish, and the inspiration behind it, but I also love that when I hear the name it reminds me of one of my favourite artists, Emilie Autumn who has an album called Opheliac.


She is maybe not to everyones taste but I love her, for her music and her writing and her presence.  But anyway, thats just a little incite into me......

a-englands can be purchased from the official site  or from Llarowe at the time of writing this the Gothic Beauties are not available on either site, so to order email Adina - hello@a-england.co.uk

The product in this post was sent to me for review.

a-england Gothic Beauties Collection

Today I have for you all something I am so excited to share.

Anyone who knows me or this blog knows of my love affair with a-england, and the newest collection Gothic Beauties is no exception.

This collection was born with the classic a-england Camelot in mind, which in my opinion is the perfect black and one of my all time favourite polishes.

The Gothic Beauties is a collection of 5 secretly shimmering polishes and each one is inspired by a classic piece of English literature.

Here are a few group shots and also individual shots of each shade in the bottle, of course you will be seeing all of them in their full beauty soon.

In order we have Ophelia, Lady of Shalott, Dorian Gray, Tess D'Ubervilles and Jane Eyre.






Ophelia 


Lady of Shalott


Dorian Gray

Jane Eyre


You can click on these pictures to make them bigger to see the pretties in more detail and my thanks go to Adina for bringing us yet another stunning collection.

You can order at the moment by emailing hello@a-england.co.uk but these will hopefully be on the a-england site and Llarowe soon.  You can also still pick up The Mythicals and the Legends from the a-england site or Llarowe too.

Thanks for looking <3
